Addressing Change & Resolving Conflict Sample Clauses

Addressing Change & Resolving Conflict. (a) Respectful and Honest Communication. At any time during our collaboration, things may change, or one or both of us may have questions or concerns. We may need to clarify our expectations of each other, or modify the scope or schedule based on unforeseen changes, complications, or life events. Respectful and honest communication can help us resolve issues and get back on track. In the event either party suspects a breach of this agreement by the other, or wishes to revisit the terms or seek clarification insofar as the terms of this agreement may apply to specific facts and circumstances that may arise, we agree to check in with each other in good faith to discuss how to improve the relationship or resolve a problem that one or both believe is hampering our ability to work effectively together. We agree to base our conversations on the mission, vision and values outlined in this agreement. The following questions can also be used to help figure out a way forward: • Do we each feel we are getting what we anticipated? Is there something that is no longer working for one or both of us? • What do we most appreciate about the work we have done together so far? • Are there outside influences (or money) affecting how we are working together? • What has worked really well so far? How can we expand on it? • Is it time to redefine or redirect our work together? • Is there something difficult we are avoiding saying or doing? • What do we gain by continuing/ending this work together?
